You say that you love me
Just like a question you dread the answer to
Look at me I know you would let this go

On and on like you always do

We are performers without a stage

We know the lines by heart
Weâ??re supposed to say


Man, what a rough day
What you want to do for supper
Is there anything good on TV?

You got a call from your mother
Guess I could stay here and pretend forever
But you deserve better

You deserve better

Iâ??d hoped this nagging feeling

Would go away and itâ??s really not too late
Itâ??s so hard to live with
Disappointment always written on your face


We are performers without a stage
We know the lines by heart

Weâ??re supposed to say

How long you staying up tonight

Guess Iâ??m going on to bed
Go ahead and turn out the lights
Probably sleep here instead

Guess I could stay here and pretend forever
But you deserve better
You deserve better


Guess I could stay here and pretend forever
But you deserve better

You deserve better
You deserve better
You deserve better

You deserve better
